Ancient Rome was a slave based economy. Trade dominated in the economy and importers were among the wealthiest citizens of the Empire.

A- . The culture of Ancient Rome gave exceptional prominence to the visual arts. Humanism was expressed as much by painting and sculpture as literature. A large part of the poem is dominated by the political problems in cities. The combination of art and trade led to cultural competitiveness between cities, states, and courts
. Roman art was influenced by some countries that they ruled over, like Greece, Egypt, and Africa, by their emperors, and their masters and leaders. Romans had many different art forms. One of the art forms were murals, large wall paintings. Architecture was another type art form. Buildings and bridges were also made as a form of architecture. They made statues and portraits too.
Ancient Romans were very in to their art, and this is a coloring book that is based off of many famous structures made by the Ancient Romans thousands of years ago.
T- Ancient Rome completed great accomplishments in the technological world at its time. They used basic hand tools such as hammers and shovels, but also used modern tools such as the wheel and concrete. Architecturally they were one of the best creators ever, inventing some things like the arch. One of the most famous buildings in Rome is the Colosseum. This enormous masterpiece use up 100,000 meters cubed of travertine block, and was held together by iron rods. It took eight years to build the stadium used for battle. Gladiators, baited animals, and many more events took place here. But also education was a big deal in Rome. Both male and female kids were taught, but most upper-class children's parents’ higher personal teachers.
The Colosseum in ancient Rome staged the blockbuster entertainment of its day, where superstar gladiators would fight to the death in the ultimate showdowns. A gigantic oval 615 ft long, 510 ft wide and over 157 ft high, the Colosseum pushed Roman technology to its absolute limits. Its state-of-the art features are still only found in the most advanced superdomes today. Commissioned in AD 69 by the Emperor Vespasian, it was built next to a huge golden statue of Nero known as the Colossus – hence its nickname: the Colosseum. It is a symphony of arches – 240 grand stone arches grace its exterior alone. To achieve the massive heights required, the Romans invented the red brick, and bound these together with another Roman invention – concrete. The grand opening included a set of inaugural games that lasted 100 days and perhaps even a naval combat in the arena. After this, the games got ever more ambitious, and to facilitate them, Vespasian’s younger son Domitian constructed the most amazing part of the Colosseum – the hypogeum. This underground labyrinth with 30 elevators and 60 trapdoors opening up into the arena above, from which gladiators, wild beasts and even collapsible scenery could pop up, helped turn the Colosseum into the iconic monument it is today, and form the blueprint for sports arenas for centuries to come.
S- Ancient Rome had a very definite class system: Patricians, Plebeians, and Slaves. Patricians were a modern day upper class filled with large land owners. These land owners dominated government. Known as the lower class in their time, but now would be considered the middle class is the Plebeians. This class consisted of small land owners, shoe makers, craftsman, etc. Lastly is the slave class. These made up a huge part of the Ancient Roman Empire and possibly even a majority. Ancient Roman Society accomplished many things such as codified laws, standardized measurements, and language (languages around the world are based off the Roman language Latin).
Patrician and Plebeian
Summary- All in all Ancient Rome had some great accomplishments. In the Government they created the first republic and then switched to the senate, created amazing stories through their gods that could entertain anyone, invented a currency system for a huge empire, amazed people with crafts, made some of the worlds greatest arcitecural discovories, and had social classes where people knew their job. Some highlights of this empire was the building of the Colosseum, inventing the senate, and the invention of concrete. Basically, Ancient Rome has formed how we look at the world today.
